Friday of EMS Week is reserved for recognizing our providers for the care and service they provide to our community. Tonight, we hosted a cookout for the employees at Hillsboro Area Ambulance Service to thank them for their commitment to our agency and residents. Employees were also given EMS Week gifts from our board of directors.

After dinner, two employees were recognized as the EMT of the Year and the Paramedic of the Year. These awards were voted on by their fellow employees. We are proud to announce Paramedic of the Year, Alex Heyen, and EMT of the Year, Brayden Summers.

We would also like to take this opportunity to recognize Alex and Brayden for recently completing their first EMT class as instructors. They had 10 students complete their class, and at this time, 9 out of 10 students have passed their national certification. This is an extraordinary feat, as this pass rate is far above the national average.

The evening concluded with Alex leading a continuing education class for our employees on heat-related illness and sports injuries.

Hillsboro Area Ambulance Service would like to thank each and every employee who answers the call and helps us serve the communities we serve.

Today we look at children in EMS. The old saying that children are just little adults is very inaccurate. EMS providers are trained in the physical and developmental differences in pediatric patients versus adults. Our pediatric patients require a different set of tools and equipment designed to properly treat them. Our providers also have to take a different approach to patient assessment and interaction with our young patients. We host continuing education for our staff specifically designed toward treating our young patients. Our advanced providers are required to maintain certification in Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) by the American Heart Association.

If you see our crews out around town you can always ask our crews to show your children around the ambulance and let them become more familiar if they need us.

Our providers are ready to treat even the smallest of patient should the need arise.

Today’s theme for EMS week is safety. Our providers are trained that safety is the number one priority of every call. We can not help our patients if we ourselves become a patient.

The safety aspect includes many different things. Scene safety and preventing dangers on calls, whether we are working on a busy roadway or a dangerous scene that needs to be secured safety is always a priority not only for our providers but the safety of our patients and the community.

Safety also include the safety and prevention of workplace injuries through proper practices and equipment. We promote proper lifting to prevent injuries as have advanced equipment to help lift patients and reduce injury risk to our staff and patient. All of our ambulances are equipped with Stryker Power cots to help lift patients and 3 of our 4 ambulance have the Stryker power load system to lift the cot reducing risk of injuries to our staff.

Equipment being in proper working order is another aspect of safety we take seriously. All of our equipment is inspected daily to ensure that when our patients need it, the equipment will be working properly.
